Since 1997, the B.A.A. has
conducted its middle school cross country program with
Boston Parks and Recreation and the Boston Public Schools
Department. Similar in structure to the Club 111 training
program, the program presents a four week structured
introduction to the sport of cross country.
The Boston Middle School Cross
Country Championships is the culmination of the month-long
program, sponsored by the B.A.A. and adidas. Focusing
on the fundamentals of running, team participation,
and health benefits, the training program offers a unique
athletic opportunity to the youths of Greater Boston.
Thousands of kids have participated in the Boston Middle
School Cross Country Championships since the inaugural
races in 1996.
The event consists of three races:
one for boys, one for girls, and a relay race among
teams from each of the participating schools.
